“…… Please allow Ximu Bao to participate in the imperial examination! ”

On the top of the main hall, the young lord of the Hezhen Ministry, Hezhen Ximu Bao, who came to meet him, bowed down and asked after saying a lot of beautiful words.

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent in an instant, and all eyes were focused on this young man who seemed to be a bit of a northern clan.

After a moment of silence, someone among the ministers began to whisper.

"What is this Hezhen kid going to do? I heard you right, he actually wants to take the martial arts test? What happened to our Ming Dynasty's imperial examinations with their tribe barbarians? "The officials leaning against the door are small in rank, and they are far away from the emperor's high-level, so they are more casual to mutter.

A person next to him glanced at him, shook his head with a smile, and said, "There is no precedent for this......"

Another also joined in the fun: "Not only does this dynasty have no precedent for this, but even if you go back to several dynasties, there is no such thing." However, this little barbarian from the Hu tribe is very good at picking, they are good at riding and shooting, brave and good at fighting, and they have a big advantage in picking a martial arts competition...... This is not fair to our martial artists of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"He wants to pick liberal arts, but how many words can he know?"

……

The ministers in the main hall exchanged their heads and talked about each other, like a group of green-headed flies flying in, buzzing loudly.

The ministers below were discussing, and Emperor Yong'an sat on top of him but had a headache and was also annoyed.

What kind of trouble is this kid of the Hezhen tribe doing? also asked to participate in the martial arts, is the martial arts a child's play? The imperial examination is for the selection of materials for the country, and assists the monarch in civil and military governance. Wu Juxuan's move was originally intended to be sent to the frontier to supplement the border army. Border defense, border defense, who is defending, it's not just these barbarian Hu tribes, he actually invited himself to participate in the martial arts test...... It just doesn't make sense! Vexatious!

That's the truth, but you can't tell the truth right now.

Just imagine, as a great tomorrow, he just falsely praised the loyalty of the Hezhen Department, and the request of people to participate in the martial arts test is also a sign of loyalty, if he refuses so straightforwardly, he will not be able to get over his face...... How can you be suspected of being slapped in the face!

Hey, this Hu kid is really a problem for me!

Thinking about it secretly, Emperor Yong'an was a little embarrassed, and his eyes naturally fell on the minister below. If the emperor has a problem, he will naturally leave it to the minister to solve!

"Well, King Jingbei ......" The first thing Emperor Yong'an pointed out was Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng is the king of Jingbei, who leveled Mobei and shocked the north. Sneaking him out, in addition to relieving himself, is also a little warning to this Hezhen kid who doesn't know the rules very well! Of course, Qin Zheng is the highest-ranking military attache in the court, and he is also in charge of the military department, and he also has the rank of a scholar of the Wuyingdian University.

Qin Zheng responded to the call, and after holding up the wat board and saluting Emperor Yong'an, he didn't say anything directly, but turned to Shanghe Zhen Ximubao and asked: "Since Gongzi Hezhen asked my lord to allow you to participate in the martial arts, have you understood the rules of the martial arts?" ”

Hezhen Ximu Bao bowed to Qin Zheng and said very politely: "Ximu Bao specially inquired and learned some ...... about Wu Ke."

Nishiki Yasushi earnestly recounted what he knew about Takeko. When Qin Zheng heard it, it was true, this tribal kid said it in detail, and he really did his homework.

Qin Zheng nodded and said lightly: "Gongzi He Zhen has really put in some effort...... It's just that what you're talking about is only the double test of Wuke in the capital, but it's not enough, before taking these two exams, you have to take three exams, that is, the county exam, the government exam and the township exam, after passing the three exams, the person who obtains the identity of the martial arts person can come to the capital, participate in the final double test, and talk about heroes with good men in the world! ”

Having said this, it is already very clear that Nishiki Bao did not participate in the previous three exams, so naturally he is not qualified to be a martial artist, and of course he is not qualified to participate in the martial arts examination and the palace examination.

In fact, what Qin Zheng is talking about is the process of the literati imperial examination, the martial arts department is often canceled and interrupted for various reasons, and sometimes because of the urgent needs of the situation, the martial arts department is temporarily started and the talents are selected.

In addition to the literary test, the martial arts exam also has to be a martial arts competition, if there is someone who tries to pass the test in a fool's way, and the one who gets off the field is really a sword, it is a joke with his own life. Of course, there are those who are in the fly camp and the dogs, and they skillfully buy the opponent in the martial arts competition, and it is not impossible to pass the test in a fool...... This matter is indispensable everywhere, so I will not mention it for the time being.

only said that Hezhen Ximubao was said by Qin Zheng, he should understand and retreat by himself.

Who knew that this kid did not flinch, but still had a calm face, and said: "Just now, the Khan crowned my father as Hezhenbu Khan, which is equivalent to the same state. Nishiki Bao won the first place in the mounted archery competition of the Hezhenbu, and it was Batu of the Hezhenbu. May I ask King Jingbei, is this the 'Wuju person' you are talking about? ”

Qin Zheng glanced at this Hezhen Ximubao, and said in his heart that this kid's heart and eyes turned quite quickly, unlike those Hu people in the north, who only knew how to play fierce and ruthless...... If this person becomes the leader of the Hezhen tribe one day, it will not be good news for the Ming Dynasty!

His mind turned, but the expression on Qin Zheng's face was not at all, he still had a cold face, and replied directly: "I haven't been awarded by the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, naturally not!" ”

Your dad got a verbal seal, and you took chicken feathers as an arrow?! Don't say that the verbal seal is nothing, but this letter has been implemented, and this kid is also whimsical. First, the lifting of people is the example of a province, and Hezhen Ximubao himself said that their tribe is equal to the same state, and the rank is not enough; Second, there was no imperial edict at all in the competition before your edict, and the results of the process were not supervised, so naturally they were not recognized.

The respectful look on Hezhen Ximubao's face could barely be maintained, and his face rose to a layer of redness, plus his own skin was relatively dark, this face was there

The skin is darker, and the face has a bit of a pig liver color (shaierization). After taking a few deep breaths with his nostrils open, this person actually stabilized his mood again, and respectfully bowed to Qin Zheng: "Thank you King Jingbei for your advice!" ”

Qin Zheng nodded, in response, stood at the head of the queue with his eyelids down, and no longer paid attention to this son.

It was the soldier next to him, who turned out to be a general under Qin Zheng's account, looking at Ximu Bao, who was really unpleasant, and when he saw his appearance of hiding needles in the cotton, he actually laughed angrily: "Ha, this kid is still not convinced, do you still want to secretly make it bad for our King Jingbei?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth like this, some of the generals next to him naturally answered, "Haha, his kid is ambitious, much stronger than Beirong back then!" ”

After saying that, several young military attachés also laughed for a while, and completely laughed at the face of Hezhen Ximu Bao, and it was definitely a sauced pork liver!

Emperor Yong'an's embarrassment was dealt with by Qin Zheng in three or two sentences, and those generals made him breathe a sigh of relief and feel better. Of course, he can't help but show that with a look, An Lu, who was standing next to him, said loudly: "Above the court, no noise!" ”

When the generals saw that it was good, they all closed their voices, only secretly, still silently squeezing and grinning at Hezhen Ximubao.

These people are just some who are not afraid of big things, and they can't poke this young master of the Hezhen Department to make a mistake and create some contradictions, so they also went to the north to clean up the Hezhen Department again, and went out of Beijing to move their arms and legs. Although Jingshi is prosperous and wealthy, but after staying for a long time, it is really very suffocating, not happy! Besides, they are still thinking about sealing the marquis immediately, if they don't fight, where will they have the opportunity to be the marquis?

Hezhen Ximu Bao only suffocated his face into a pig's liver, but he turned a blind eye to the provocation of several low-level generals. Even when Emperor Yong'an saw it, he inevitably secretly praised it, what a forbearance effort!

After thinking about it, people came all the way to express their obedience, and he couldn't make too much trouble, he was not one of those low-level generals, he could come by temperament.

Rolling his eyes, Emperor Yong'an said with a smile: "Ximu Bao invited himself to participate in the martial arts, and he is also strong in blood and strength, and he is a man." In this way, although you can't participate in the martial arts, you can also set up a ring to compete with my Central Plains boys and meet friends, and communicate with each other! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Yong'an paused slightly, the smile on his face deepened a little, and then turned to Qin Zheng and said: "This matter will be handed over to King Jingbei, and there is no need to find another venue, just in your garden." Set a date, I will also go to cheer for all the young heroes! ”

Qin Zheng was reluctant in his heart, but in front of a courtier, it was not easy to save the face of this person, so he had to agree.

But Hezhen Ximubao was really overjoyed, and he was upright and stretched to the ground, thanking Emperor Yong'an. Emperor Yong'an was stunned, why is this kid so happy? Is he really a martial idiot? At the mention of being able to compete in martial arts, you are happy to be like this? Well, it's not quite right to think about it?

Emperor Yong'an was puzzled and puzzled, in fact, it was very simple, Ximu Bao entered Beijing in order to marry Aman. But since he entered Beijing, he hasn't even seen Aman's face. After inquiring about the news, it was said that Zhao Chengfang was engaged in many activities, and he was even more anxious. He thought in his heart that Zhao Chengfang was not as good as himself except for the title of champion. If he also becomes the champion, then he will naturally compare Zhao Chengfang to him. Only then did I think about taking the martial arts exam.

It took a long day to work uselessly, but I didn't expect that as soon as Emperor Yong'an opened his mouth, he would be able to enter the garden of the Jingbei Palace...... Naturally, I was able to meet Aman...... You think he can't be ecstatic! It's just another village!

Zhao Chengfang didn't pay attention to this person, the reason why he didn't return to the capital was like a princess and princess proposing marriage, but he didn't want to wronged Aman. He thought that by the end of the year, his term of office would almost expire, and if he operated, with the holy dependents of Emperor Yong'an, how could he be promoted to two levels and become a positive fourth grade...... However, the situation is different now, and he is really a fool.

Over there, Emperor Yong'an had just ordered King Jingbei to prepare for the ring competition, and Zhao Chengfang went directly to the door.

He didn't ask any old man, but he asked to see the princess himself.

Qiu Chen also wondered, this kid will come over to say hello if he has nothing to do, but he hasn't been so solemn, just like his own child, they all come in directly!

Laughing and letting people pass Zhao Chengfang in, Qiu Chen also instructed Forsythia Gardenia to bring two plates of chilled melons and watermelons to relieve the heat for Young Master Chengzi.

Waiting for Chengzi to come in, he saluted, said goodbye, sat down, ate melons, and chatted with Qiu Chen for a few words. ”

As he spoke, he reached the ground and did not get up.

When Qiu Chen saw this, he naturally motioned for the girl to help her up. looked at Chengzi's eyes again, and sent the girls away.

There were only two people left in the room, and Qiu Chen also put on a funny look, looked at Chengzi with a straight face, and said, "If there is anything, you can sit down and talk about it!" …… But what difficulties did the DPRK and China encounter? ”

Chengzi blushed slightly, not only did he not sit down, but lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down: "Chengzi begs my aunt to make decisions for my family." ”

"Huh? Haha, I thought something was wrong! Family, good, this is a happy event. Tell me, which girl it is, I'll consider it for you......" Qiu Chen was happy when he heard Chengzi's words. Chengzi is something she watched grow up and really regards as a nephew. Before, she was still thinking about worrying, but later she saw him in front of the emperor, but she was not too embarrassed to take care of him, for fear that she would not be able to worry too much!

Chengzi raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Chen, pursed the corners of his mouth, plucked up his courage, and said, "It's none other than Sister Man'er!" ”

"Huh?" The smile on Qiu Chen's face froze.

As soon as Chengzi said it, he was relieved, seeing that Qiu Chen was just an accident, he was not angry, and he had a bottom in his heart. Hurriedly added, and said earnestly

He said earnestly: "I beg my aunt to agree to marry Man'er to me!" I, Zhao Chengfang, have only one person in this life. Just ask for one heart, and the white head will not be separated! ”

Qiu Chen was surprised, and then looked at the young man kneeling below, and his heart ...... It's a mess, and it doesn't taste like it.

You say angry, right? Neither is it. Such a good child begged to marry his daughter, and he couldn't get angry.

You say rejoice, right? Neither is it. The little girl who regards herself as a treasure is remembered by others, and she has to marry someone else as a wife, and in the future, she will be a husband and wife, and she will not be close to herself......

Well, Chengzi was nervous underneath, and Qiu Chen, who was a mother-in-law, was entangled at the top. What a waywardness!

Fortunately, Qiu Chen was more sensible, and after struggling for a while, he figured it out.

It's a good thing that an adult can marry a full son.

Not to mention that she understands the child's heart, even if the adult son is good to Man'er, she also sees it in her eyes. Back then, he was able to follow Man'er all the way south to take care of him, and later he also loved Man'er very much...... A teenager, she absolutely didn't believe that Chengzi at that time was optimistic about Man'er, a four or five-year-old girl, but it was precisely like that that she could see his true heart.

Man'er was a little too pampered by her, and her thinking was too strong, if she married into an ordinary rich and noble eunuch, I am afraid it would be difficult to get along harmoniously. Married to Chengzi but not worried about this......

After thinking about it, Qiu Chen naturally had no entanglement, only joy remained.

But you can't just say yes to it. It seems that your own daughter is not valuable, isn't it!

"You get up first!" Qiu Chen spoke gently.

Chengzi raised his head in some surprise, but didn't get up, just looked at Qiu Chen and said, "Auntie......"

"Well, you are what I watched grow up, I am naturally happy that you can come together with Man'er. But this matter is Man'er's lifelong event, and I can't just promise you. Give me some time, and I'll ask Man'er what he means...... Of course, you have to discuss it with the prince, and Ah Fu...... Well, don't worry, don't be in a hurry. On the third or fifth day, there must be news! ”

As soon as he heard this, Chengzi's heart fell to the ground.

Familiar ones know that the princess is actually in charge of the princess in the Jingbei Palace, and since the princess agreed, the prince and Ah Fu naturally have no objections. As for Aman, Chengzi is naturally confident, and the little girl will never disagree!

Get up respectfully, pick up the interesting things in the court and say a few words to Qiu Chen, and then leave.

As soon as Chengzi left, Qiu Chen thought about it.

Some time ago, Chengzi went to Liaodi and took Aman back to the capital. The two of them also walked all the way...... Don't be on the road, what a loss the girl suffered!

This idea was quickly rejected by her.

She doesn't believe in others, and she also believes in her own daughter, not the kind of frivolous woman who doesn't know the depths. Even if the two of them are happy, they will not do anything out of the ordinary.

Originally, she wanted to call Aman over and ask immediately, but after thinking about it like this, she was not in a hurry, and calmly called the girl in, discussing what cold dishes to appetize at noon, and what sherbet to put together......

An An leisurely day, Qin Zheng came back in the evening, and she told Qin Zheng about it. Only then did I know that Qin Zheng not only knew it earlier, but even let Chengzi finish the emperor's work.

In this way, Qiu Chen was a little satisfied.

This kid is willing to spend so much effort for Man'er, just because he values Man'er...... With this cherishing and valuing, two people respect and love each other, and they will live a good life in the future! It's been a long time!

Early the next morning, it happened that Ah Fu came early, and Qiu Chen told Ah Fu about Chengzi's proposal to marry Ah Man.

Ah Fu did not object, and said a few good words for Chengzi in front of his mother. But when he went out, Ah Fu went to the teacher to make a sloppy look, and went to the yamen of Chengzi's upper ya.

When I came back in the evening, the family was once again together.

Chengzi was the last to come in, and as soon as he sat down, his brows furrowed suddenly......

Aman didn't show anything in front of people, but he also paid more attention, and Chengzi's obviously abnormal expression naturally fell in her eyes. Ah Fu took the tea but showed a sneer, the stinky boy dared to sneak his attention to his sister's head...... Just take a few hits, pretend to be pitiful! (.. )
